When we see a murderer, a rapist, or a mobster, our first reaction is to be disgusted by what these people did. It is natural. God created us with conscience, and it seemed that these people have no conscience or they would not be doing what they did. Our knowledge of what good and evil is made us despised these people who seemed delighted in only doing evil and not good. We think they deserve to go to jails and even to go the electric chairs! What we often forget is that while our own sins may seem small in our eyes, they are large and big in God's eyes. We may think we are good people, but we are sinners, too, in God's eyes, just like the murderer, rapist, mobster we despise.  "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. " 1 John 1:8 ESV Before we know God or receive Jesus into our lives, we are just as hopeless as the mobster, rapist or murderer we despise. Yet, God does not think we deserve to go to eternal jail, hell but deserve to...

  Do you seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit or do you seek to be His friend? The Holy Spirit is a person and not just a power or force that we seek to improve our Christian ministry. Too often, we seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit and do not seek to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Like the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is a person and seeks to develop a relationship with us. He wants our love and adorations, too, We need to see the Holy Spirit as a person and cultivate a relationship with Him, like we did with the Father and the Son. We need to remember to talk to the Holy Spirit and love Him, and not just want the gifts that He can give to us. After all, when you give gifts to your children, do you want them to love your gifts or you? You want them to love you, and not your gifts, don't you? It is the same with the Holy Spirit. He is a person, the third person of the Trinity, and like the Father and the Son, wants us to love and adore and worship Him, too. Theref...

  If you want to get right with God, and be saved, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. Prayer is simply talking to God. So, say out loud the following words and mean them from the bottom of your heart: “God, I know that I have committed wrong acts in my life and sinned against You. I deserve fully your punishment of eternal hell. Yet, You love me so much that you sent Jesus Christ down to take the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I accept Jesus into my life as my Saviour and trust You, oh God for my salvation. Thank you for saving me.” Had you meant what you said? Congratulation, you now belong to the family of God, and is a Christian. 1. Make sure you understand salvation. 1 John 5:13 tells us, “I write these things...

The first sin that man committed is not the sin or murder, or the sin of theft, or what we called any of the major sin today. Instead, the first sin that man committed is the sin to define for ourselves the right to determine for ourselves what good and what evil really is. Adam and Eve sinned because they took the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 3:6) They did this because, they wanted to be like God, knowing good and evil. In other words, they wanted that right to define for themselves what good and what evil really is. They rejected God’s right to be the one and the one alone to decide what good and evil is. That is the reason for the mess of the world today, with each man or woman deciding for ourselves what good and evil really is and because we disagree with each other on our definitions of what good and evil is, we quarrel and argue with each other and we even fought wars in the name of what we believe to be right. And since each of us has different de...
